Everything on this menu from drinks to food is fantastic Great spot for a girls brunch or brunch with your partner read more

I've really loved alder's brunch for awhile now. You can tell they use the clean and high quality ingredients. Everything is executed to perfection. I recently decided to try dinner service and I was blown away. As a self proclaimed wino, I was ecstatic with their wine list. I definitely wasn't expecting my fave brunch spot to have such great options! Now on to the food, I don't say this lightly, it was one of the best meals I've had this year. You MUST get the steak tartare if it's on the menu. Our server James was so kind and attentive, he explained the menu will rotate with new seasonal offerings and I'm so excited to see what else is to come! Seriously still thinking about Friday. So good! read more

A local spot with trendy vibe. Parking is tough, even with a lot in front of the restaurant. Seating inside and patio are great options. Service overall was great even with two drink order mistakes. The one drink that was correct was the Lavender Palmer. So good!!! Also yummy was the Mojo Pork Hash. Best dish of our table. The bistro burger was also very good and came with garlic onion fries. The garlic was so overpowering I would skip the fries next time or ask for little or no garlic. Whew!! The Alder & Sage salad was good and enough to share. I would have like a bit more punch in the dressing. The French toast looked like a piece of art but sadly did not live up to its beautiful presentation. The bread wasn't dipped enough and was more charred than golden brown. The blueberry sauce was tasty. read more

I've been admiring Alder & Sage from afar for some time and I finally got a chance to come in for a solo lunch/brunch. First, I have to say, I love the interior! The furniture and decor is chic but simultaneously warm and inviting. Even their back patio set up looks so nice! I will need to come back again and spend more time here. The coffee/espresso is excellent and I love the food menu. It's a bit pricey in my opinion but the food was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to more solo lunches here in the future. read more

I have been to alder and sage four times in the past month and each time it is absolutely delicious! I have tried their French toast which is sweet but not overly so. Their dish with potatoes and carnitas was perfectly seasoned and more than plenty for one person maybe even two depending on your appetite. The chai lattes are the best I have ever tasted! I have even tried the pumpkin chai lattes and no other place compares. A must !!!! Also their pastries are elite and I had their matcha pistachio croissant which is 11/10 and their passion fruit pastry which is also 11/10. The apple pocket is yummy but not as sweet. Great to me but important to note if you are looking for a sweet pastry. I'll be a regular here for years to come! read more

Great brunch and coffee spot near Long Beach's Fourth Street neighborhood. After trying their coffee a few times, their brioche French toast drew me in. It was delicious! Relaxing chill vibe, but was also super packed. I highly recommend you make a reservation via the Toast app. Friendly service! read more

First time here on the weekend. They had a different menu and it was busier than usual but I only had to wait a few minutes for a table. The staff was very sweet, especially the guy and girl seating us. Amazing service overall! The food came out quickly, my friend loved her burger and I enjoyed my salmon toast. :-) read more

Alder & Sage - Salmon Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Beautiful cafe that is perfect for a weekend brunch! This cute and trendy spot is at the center of Retro Row on 4th Street in Long Beach. All their dishes are farm to table fresh and sourced from the local area. I ordered the classic breakfast with the chicken sausage and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken sausage was super fresh and very well seasoned, I loved the flavor! I was expecting more from the French toast, it was good, but the bread just lacked flavor. I also tasted the pulled pork hash and it was great! I had to also order a coffee and decided on one of their seasonal options. I got the Pistachio Rose Cold Foam Cold Brew which was amazing!!! The service was great, our server was really nice. I will definitely be back! read more

Food was ok but the customer service was lacking. It's not a vibe. Be aware they have a limit on how long you can sit to eat. They asked us to leave about 90min in, didn't ask if we wanted anything else they were basically like get out. We had ordered full meals and coffee was not finished :/. Coffee is also super acidic. I would not recommend any of it. That area has so many cute spots that are friendlier and more welcoming. read more

The service was excellent, and the ambiance is absolutely charming--definitely a great spot if you're into aesthetic, cozy vibes. We tried the Mazapán Latte, which was delicious and a unique highlight of the meal. For food, we ordered the Mojo Pork Hash and the Ricotta French Toast. Unfortunately, both dishes fell short-- the French toast was quite dry, and the pork hash lacked flavor. Overall, it felt like the focus was more on presentation and atmosphere than on the food itself, especially considering the $24 price tag per entrée. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but we'd likely come back just for coffee and the ambiance rather than a full meal. read more

Great service and amazing food. Ordered the quiche and thought it was very savory and delicious. Also ordered the shaken collagen latte and thought it was very refreshing and not too sweet. Ambience was overall very good too read more

Artsy and tranquil little neighbor cafe to grab an excellent drink or snack at. We tried the Matcha and Sage Rosemary Lattes and both satisfied our cravings immensely. The Matcha was not overly sweet and just perfect and the Sage Latte had the perfect notes of Sage and Rosemary in it accompanying the espresso. I particularly loved the outdoor patio as it's such a gorgeous spot to just relax and enjoy your drink at. And I appreciated how the staff brought out the drinks promptly with a smile. I'd recommend a visit here if you're around the area! read more

Modern, cozy & cute brunch spot! There's also a good amount of seating outside, which is really cute also. They are next to a parking lot, however, you'll have to pay for it. The staff is really nice. They have a good variety of food options. I was between ordering the smoked salmon tartine and the avocado tartine. The waitress recommended the avocado tartine and I added the egg, which this dish was very flavorful and refreshing. I also added their house spicy sauce, which elevated the dish even more. I also ordered their white chocolate strawberry croissant which had a good amount of sweetness, flakiness, and fluffiness. I wish I ordered one of their coffees since it seemed like that's what they're popular for but I already had a cup prior to arriving. I'll just have to come back in the future when I'm in the area! read more

Usually when in this side of town you usually want to hit the Social List or Lola's, but my girl and I found this cute little spot. Alder and Sage is a coffee shop with lovely inside and outside dining, this restaurant was probably one of the first where the inside was less wait time compared to outside haha I totally understand though the outside was very nice for your furry friend, kids and just friends meeting to have some caffeine or a meal. I had the bistro burger and it was delicious the bun was great and with the aioli sauce on the side and I asked for an over easy egg on and put it in there definitely the move delicious we also enjoyed the half carafe mimosa that came with pomegranate, orange and grapefruit juice for 22 serves 2 drinks a piece can't beat that. My girl ordered the soyrizo hash it was vegan but had a mole sauce with salsa verde it was really flavorful and delicious. Would definitely come again to try the coffee and chilaquiles. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday and service was rushed + food could've been better. The server was definitely rushing to get orders in and I wasn't able to call out after her to add more before she ran off. I also took her suggestion to get a pork hash and it was really soggy and bland. I did ask to switch and ended up ordering a la carte (salad with a side of chicken and crispy potatoes on the side). The potatoes were not crispy and while the chicken was cooked well (very tender!), it was also very bland. The salad was just ok. I also got an iced London fog and that was extremely watered down and the foam dissipated almost immediately. Lastly we had reservations and they sat us directly in front of the DJ so we also couldn't hear each other. read more

Alder and Sage is very cute and has good ambiance, but the food really didn't impress me, especially for the price. I came here for a weekday breakfast and the service was quick and friendly. Our waiter was helpful and checked on us just the right amount. I got the French omelette and it had great texture but almost no flavor. The side salad it came with was great. I also loved that they had hibiscus tea! It was a cute experience, but nothing too special and the price is a bit high for the quality. read more

Alder & Sage is my neighborhood cafe and I've been there a number of times. I will often walk here for a cold brew, a pastry, but rarely will I come here for lunch or breakfast. While the ambiance is super cute and they have a great outdoor patio, their menu does feel a bit overpriced most of the time. Most recently, I came here and got a classic breakfast for $18. 2 eggs, toast, and some bacon. I left slightly hungry and wondering about the home fries. Of course, home fries probably were extra, but I forgot to ask. All in all, if you're not on a budget and like a trendy hotspot, Alder & Sage is a good visit, but for those that live in the neighborhood; I honestly feel priced out of enjoying a lunch or breakfast here, and that's just my honest take. I'll still come here and I'm grateful it exists, but I can't really afford to support this place more than once or twice a year, and I wish it were different. read more

This is one of the cutest brunch spots I've been to. I used to live out in the Long Beach area, but it's been a while every time I come back there's always a new hidden gem to discover for girls brunch. We chose this place because you can easily make reservations, the ambience is really pretty and relaxing, and the food looks really good. We shared a few dishes, like the French toast which was our sweet dish, for savory we had the sausages which were a little bit more on the sweet side than expected, and then we had the Turkish eggs which come on a pink bed of cream sauce highly recommend it. It was really good and very aesthetic. We didn't have any cocktails, but stuck to tea and coffee. There is a public lot where you can pay, but it gets pretty crowded. There is also street parking but you'd have better luck in the lot. read more

Cute spot for brunch in Long Beach. Paid parking lot adjacent that is large. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Turkish eggs were so good.

Love this place; great atmosphere, lovely staff and delicious food. I had the whiskey caramel latte and it was so delicious. It had the whiskey flavor without the alcohol with beautiful presentation too. The chicken Milanese was divine, chicken was flavorful and so moist you could cut it with a fork. The patio is so relaxing and they grow their own herbs for their food. I saw a chef come out and grab something and head back to the kitchen. read more

The patio at Alder & Sage is such a vibe. It's spacious, sunny, and all things Long Beach. I came for brunch and ordered the quiche of the day ($18). Luckily for me, it was a curry flavored + broccoli (I think) quiche so it was right up my alley. The hearty quiche was perfectly eggy with just the right amount of bounce. It came with a side of mixed greens so health, obviously. The golden grain bowl ($20) was also fire. It comes with quinoa, farro, freekeh, golden dressing, cherry tomatoes, marinated Persian cucumbers, pickled currents, spiced chickpeas, tender herbs + sesame seeds. If you're looking for something healthy and hearty, the golden grain bowl is your guy. Tbh, Alder & Sage is more atmospheric than food, but I will certainly be back. read more

Solid brunch spot. Long wait. We weren't blown away but the food overall tasted good. Nice indoor outdoor vibe.

First time trying an eatery in Long Beach for a girls gathering. The inside of the place was super cute, they have an inside dinning area as well as an outside. We sat outside due to the weather being hot. I had a classic breakfast plate. The portion I would say is pretty decent as it was just enough to get me full and not lethargic. My friends also thought the portions were decent for the price range. I also got the ube matcha, you can def see they're no skimpy of the matcha powder however I would say for the price range I was done with the drink in about 5 sips so I wouldn't get it again for the price range. It's a cute little establishment and service is friendly and accommodating since we were a party of 6. I would come here again for a little casual get together. read more

Really enjoying this place everytime I'm in the neighborhood. They have a fantastic backyard where you can just unwired and chilled (dogs are welcome). The staff are lovely and very helpful when you just want the best and they got you. The food and drinks are just lovely but the prices can be on the high end but it worth it. They do have indoor and full menu for lunch and dinner. I only come here for the coffee and the breakfast. Great place just hanging in the back yard and read a really good book. read more

We love a dog friendly patio for Sunday brunch! I saw this place on Instagram and I needed to stop by, especially if they allow huge dogs like my dog Kato on their patio! We got their Ube Matcha Latte, Salmon Tartare, Garlic Fries, and their Classic breakfast plate. The latte was good, but needed some simple syrup since it wasn't sweet as I expected. The fries with the aioli were so tasty, along with the salmon tartare as well, and you can't go wrong with a classic eggs, bacon and toast plate. It's definitely a cute brunch spot in Long Beach, where you can bring your furry friends with you! They have a pretty good brunch menu as well, so you'll be sure that something catches your eye here! read more

This is one of my favorite spots!! I love the vibe, food, and drinks. It's one of the places I like to take someone for brunch. My favorite drink in the past was the seasonal shaken spanish rose latte. However, all the drinks I've gotten have been great so far. I have a preference for the beans from rose park roasters and they use their beans in some of their drinks. For food, my go to item is the salmon tartine. I did have a friend who said the portion sizes were smaller than what they are used to for the price (specifically for the tartine). While I somewhat agree, I still think it is worth it. The quality of the ingredients are very fresh and the taste reflects that. They also have other menu items that have more components on the plate like the quiche or burger. My personal all-time pick is the Crab Benedict but they do not always have it. If you're lucky and it's a special for the day, I say go for it!! I really appreciate all the events they have. It makes a difference when a location is active in the community. They take the time to work with other small businesses in the area. Overall, this place is really great and I wish them all the best going forward! read more
